Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 159
July and a half is actually a good day to celebrate the harvest and worship ancestors and gods.

On such a good day, Taoism has the Hungry Ghost Festival, to pay homage to the local officials, to abstain from sins and blessings for all living beings, and to save the dead.Buddhism has the Obon Festival, offering offerings to the Three Jewels and saving suffering beings in hell.

In this way, the gate of hell is wide open, the ancestors who have a home can enjoy the sacrifices of the descendants, and the lonely souls without a master can also take the opportunity to ask for a stick of incense to eat.

However, because the underworld is not peaceful, now July and a half has become a day when practitioners need to pay extra attention.

No one knows if there will be any strange things mixed into the undead who return to the world. If some evil spirits escape and make a big commotion, it will turn a good thing into a bad thing.

In the boundary of Wuning County, the busiest person is the City God.

Li Tayun rushed to Hulipo with the City God's will, handed the City God's letter to Gong Mengbi, and said: "Teacher, the City God is short of manpower, and I would like to ask you to help. They kill people."

Gong Mengbi was a little surprised: "Daoist Yao set up the Zhongyuan Dharma Assembly, and Zen Master Faming set up the Yulan Basin Assembly. The two of them work together, and the manpower is not enough?"

Li Tayun said: "The City God is cautious, if there are no disturbances, it will be enough. If there are disturbances, I'm afraid they will be exhausted, and there will be a slight shortage of manpower."

Gong Mengbi asked the school: "What do you mean?"

Li Tayun said: "According to my point of view, it is natural to help if you can. It is true that you are helping the city god, but in the end you are still helping the people."

Gong Mengbi took a look at him, seeing that he had such enlightenment, he laughed and said: "Okay, if you have such a vision, it's not a waste of time to study in Fox Academy."

Gong Mengbi opened Chenghuang's letter, and found that what was written in the old boy's letter was not what Li Tayun said.Li Tayun said that there might be a slight shortage of manpower, and when he got the letter from the City God, he just cried poor.Crying that there is a severe shortage of manpower, it is difficult to maintain the peace of Wuning County, please Gong Mengbi must lend a helping hand, I will be very grateful.

The words are sincere, and their posture is very low.

Gong Mengbi said heartily: "It's really rare to be able to bend and stretch."

The City God is the righteous god conferred by the dynasty. In the Shinto system, the gold content is very high.Gong Mengbi's immortal official was only rank nine before he was promoted, while the city god who was also in Wuning County was rank seven.

Now Gong Mengbi is the fox leader of Dongyang County, in charge of the fox affairs in Dongyang County, and he is the seventh rank.But compared to the city god of Dongyang County, it is two ranks lower, and the county town god is five ranks.

This kind of righteous god pulls his face down and begs a mountain fox fairy, isn't it just that he can bend and stretch, with a heart full of hills and valleys?

Gong Mengbi wrote back a letter to him, saying that he would help and asked him to treat him to dinner.

Li Tayun took his letter back to the City God, and the City God was overjoyed, saying: "Okay, brother Gong is indeed a cheerful person."

After the [-]th day, the gate of hell was indeed opened.As the God of City God who communicates the worlds of yin and yang, the ghosts of Wuning County will undoubtedly come out of the gate of ghosts guarded by him, and they will also return to the underworld through his path.

Gong Mengbi used his qi skills to look at it, and he could see the gray mist spreading in the wind. One by one, the ghosts came to the world, and either returned to their homes, or were killed by the Zhongyuan Festival or the Yulan Basin Festival. Attracted, but the largest number of people are homeless and lonely souls, who can only wander around.

The temple of the City God God reveals its splendor, and one can see the aura of righteousness emanating from it from a distance, forming a majestic appearance that is vaguely visible.

This is to warn the ghosts.

In addition, there are also yin officials who escorted the ghosts and wandered around. They are bull-headed and horse-faced, and black and white are impermanent.

Even Li Tayun and the others patrolled around in official uniforms to prevent ghosts from harming people.

Gong Mengbi also sent all the foxes down the mountain to look after the villages that had no gods or ancestral spirits.Since the floods last year, many gods and ancestors have been robbed, some died of conspiracy, and some lost their sacrifices and maintenance.

The newly born social god may not be able to cope with such a scene, so he still needs to take care of it a little bit.

Whenever going down the mountain, Gong Mengbi would write fox talismans with leaves and cover them with fairy official talismans as identity proof, so as not to be caught by the patrolling underworld servants as evil spirits.

The fox lighted the fox fire and shuttled around the villages. Goddess Ma had received the instructions a long time ago, and spread among the crowd: "It is the empress of Mount Tai who sent the fox to lead the way for the souls of the dead, so that the souls of the dead will not be lost in the world. This is a good omen, so don't be afraid."

Gong Mengbi sits on Fox Slope to observe all directions, so as to avoid trouble.

All the time they lived in peace, until the time of midnight was approaching, when the gate of ghosts was about to close. The ghosts were either led by the fox, urged by the officials of the yin, or moved forward spontaneously.

When the child's hour came, the gate of ghosts was closed, and the God of City God took a sigh of relief, and silently counted the number of ghosts going to and from the gate of ghosts, and then his face changed suddenly, and he said, "It's a disaster!"

Li Tayun and other little foxes and ghosts who maintained the order before the gate of hell looked at each other, not knowing what the city god meant.

Judge Wen of the Onmyoji Division asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"

The City God's face was ashen, and said: "Didn't you find that the number of ghosts coming and going is not the same?"

"This..." The civil and military judges looked at each other, and said: "The subordinates are tired of dealing with the ghosts that come and go, it is really not clear."

The City God paced back and forth, and said: "Not only is there a ghost, but there is also a ghost. There is a problem, there is a big problem! Quick! Find me! Civil and military judges, you go to Taiqing Temple and Huaguang Temple Inquiry, Li Tayun, you go to the Fox Academy to inquire. I want to contact the Shangguan and the Yinfu to find out where the ghosts come from to escort the ghosts, but they are out of date!"

Chenghuang was very worried, if it was just out of date, it was just a small problem, and it would be fine to extradite him when he arrived.But if you can't find it, you're in big trouble.

The God of City God immediately ordered the little ghost under his seat to turn over the document book, look for the official documents that were handed over, and then wrote to the Town God and Yin Division of the county to find out who did not come.

Li Tayun went to Huliu Slope to discuss with Gong Mengbi, his face was panicked, and he said: "Teacher, something happened!"

Li Tayun told Gong Mengbi what had happened, and Gong Mengbi immediately ordered Kang Wen to ask the foxes if they had seen any ghosts who had not returned.

He asked Li Tayun to sit down and wait for news from Kang Wen.

Gong Mengbi said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the sky will fall and there will be a tall man holding it up, so it won't hit you. The City God reacted very quickly, you are not responsible for this matter, at most you will be reprimanded."

Li Tayun's heart gradually settled down, and he asked, "Teacher, do you know what's going on?"

Gong Mengbi said: "It's just a guess, it may be a premeditated ghost smuggling. Pretending to be, buying off, or killing a yin official is not something a yin ghost can do. This matter will ultimately have to be investigated by the yin department, and you don't need it." Come take the blame."

Having said that, Gong Mengbi still sighed, and said: "I hope we can find out, these ghosts sneaked into the human world, and I don't know what they are going to do."

In fact, Gong Mengbi still had deeper conjectures that he did not reveal.

Wuning County, ghosts smuggled into Fanyang, this matter sounds so familiar.
